TRANSFER INK.

No Drawing.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EMILE Gonor, a citizen of the French Republic,residing at ilontreal, Province of Quebec, Canada, have invented certainnew and useful Improvements in Transfer Ink; and I do hereby declarethat the following is a full, clear, and exact description of theinvention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which itappcrtains to make and use the same.

The present invention pertains to a novel composition of matter in thenature of a transfer ink. In the use of an ink of this character, adesign or pattern to be transferred is depicted in transfer ink upon asheet of paper, either by tracing or in the original. The sheet bearingthe design is placed face down upon the surface to which the transfer isto be made, the transfer ink engaging this surface. A hot iron is thenpassed over the back of the sheet', whereupon the design is transferredto the surface.

This transfer ink is formed of the followingingredients, preferablycombined in the proportions indicated, namely: mutton fat,

49 parts; black soap. 14 parts; and aniline coloring, 7 parts.

The black soap is constituted as follows: oil, (preferably rope seedoil), 48 parts; alkali (potash), 12 parts; water, 4.0 parts.

The aniline coloring is pulverized into the soap and the paste thusobtained is mixed with the mutton fat which is previously melted at alow temperature. Finally, the mixture is heated nearly to the boilingpoint. The black soap, particularly in greater proportion imparts to themixture sufiicient Application filed November 10, 1924. Serial No.749,033.

color to produce a visible impression. If a more distinct or a truecolor is desired. aniline coloring matter is added at the end 40 of theheating. The substance is then cooled in suitable molds. Solidbriquettes or blocks of ink are thus obtained.

In use, the ink, which is solid to a certain extent, may be dissolved ingasoline or kerosene in such proportions as required. This ink may thenbe used by any desired means for tracing or otherwise portraying adesign or writing upon suitable paper. The design or legend may then betransferred to another surface by means of a hot iron in the mannerdescribed above.

The principal ingredients of the ink are mutton fat and black soap, forthese are the substances which impart to the ink the property of beingtransferable under heat. Consequently, it is to be understood that anyink containing these two ingredients and having the property of beingtransferable under heat is comprised within the subject matter of thisinvention and the appended claims.

Having thus fully described the invention. what I claim as new anddesire to protect by Letters Patent is 1. An ink adapted to betransferred under heat, containing mutton fat. black soap and coloringmatter.

2. An ink adapted to be transferred under heat, containing 49 parts ofmutton fat, 14 parts of black soap and coloring matter.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand.

EMILE GORCY.
